Antique/Vintage Cameras
The technology of the camera has come a long way since they were
first invented. The word "photography" gets it's name from the
Greek "photos" which means "light" and "graphein" which means "to
draw".
Daguerreotype
There were a number of people working on the "camera" at the same
time with varying results. In 1827, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce
invented the first fixed image however the process was very long and
the results weren't great. A couple of years later he
partnered with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and together they developed a
more practical solution several years later. They called this
new technology the daguerreotype.
Pinhole Cameras and Camera Obscura
Although the first fixed photo was developed in the 19th century,
the history of the camera actually goes back much further. To
the 11th century in fact. |
